The other day my best friend Greg sent me a link for a personality assessment. I wish I could say that I'm one of those folks who think that these assessments are useless, I'm not. The first time I took the Briggs Myers assessment, I was absolutely floored by how accurate the results seemed. Back then I was an INFJ. Now I'm an ENFP. Anyway, this particular assessment (keirsey.com) says that I'm an idealist. That was almost like taking an assessment to learn that I'm Black. Those who know me well know that I nearly always have a grand scheme in my head. If truth is told, my success has much less to do with talent than it does with inspiration and imagination. Not to say that I don't have some kills! In everything, my goal is to have it be for the best and the highest purpose. Who I am is the very possibility of possibility itself.
From this place of possibility I know that a vision will come. And I know that even now, before it is fully realized in my mind, I must be in action. You see, standing in possibility is no passive proposition. Standing, in the spiritual sense, isn't just to stand somewhere; it's to take claim to that ground. It's holding an intention with great fidelity of purpose. So I stand in the knowing that there is nothing that can be created without first being created in mind. The place of possibility is the pregnant womb from where vision is birthed. In scripture, God has promised that he would pour out his spirit and young men will see visions and that old men would dream dreams. Whether this is a vision or a dream, I know that there is something beyond my wildest imagination that it wanting to come forth that will make a difference for gay men here in Denver. I would love it if you could stand in that place of expectancy with me.
More to be revealed......
